NOTE: The 485 Cover Plate Lifter is intended for lifting cover plates only. The surface
of the cover plate must be clean, smooth, dry, and free of oil and grease.
75 lbs. Maximum Weight Detaching Lever
1. Remove screws from cover plates.
2. Place cover plate lifter on the center of the cover plate. Gently squeeze the detaching lever while applying
pressure to the cover plate lifter, assuring that it will seat itself properly. Once cups are seated, release
pressure on detaching lever prior to releasing pressure to lifter. Do not apply pressure to the detaching lever
once it has been properly seated against surface of the cover plate. Watch the cups for 10 seconds. The
cups are properly seated if you do not see them rise upward within 10 seconds after applying pressure. If
there is no vacuum seal, first inspect the vacuum cups to see if there is a tear or there is debris (even
something as small as a metal shaving or cardboard debris) anywhere on the cup that could prevent the seal.
3. Lift cover plate in a horizontal position and store in desired location.
4. To release lifter from cover plate, lift up gently on the detaching lever with your fingers while the palm of your
hand is placed upon the top handle. Lifting up on the detaching lever with too much force can cause it to
bend which reduces the effectiveness of the lifter.
NOTE: The carrying capacity of this lifter is 75 lbs. (34 kg). This rating is based on application to clean, dry,
smooth metal at an ambient temperature of 20° C after generating the maximum vacuum.
